Viola pitched in 91 for a Mets team that lost 91 games, Tapani and Aggie pitched for a World Championship team. That is apples and oranges, my friend.

Yes but the trade wasn't for Tapani. It included other players. To sum it up, the Twins had a .480 clip in Tapani's tenure yet he won at a .528 clip. Tapani had a 2.99 era in the AL and Viola had a 3.97 in the NL. According to the Baseball Almanac the Mets lost 84 games (not 91 as you stated) in 1991 which gives them a .478 winning percentage as they only played 161 games that year. Frankie had a .464 winning % that year. Hardly what you would expect from a Cy Young winner. Are we apples to apples yet?

Overall, Viola had a 64-57 record after the trade. Aguilera and Tapani in their time with the Twins brought 119 wins against 115 losses and 254 saves. How about now? Apples to Apples?

Yes we gave up a Cy Young winner but the parts we got back added up to more.

Sorry, got my stats from Violas wiki page:

In 1991, Viola started out winning 12 of his first fourteen decisions and made the All-Star Game again. However, in the second half, Viola wasn't able to keep it going. As the Mets sank further and further in the division race (after being in contention in most of the early part of the season, they slid all the way to fifth in the division with 91 losses), Viola struggled as well, winning one decision the remainder of the year, his last as a Met, and finishing at 13-15.

I would be willing to bet his run support wasn't near what the Twins put up in 91. I liked having Tapani here, I rented him a car in Minneapolis in 01, and was a very nice guy. He told me he still maintains a home in Minnesota and comes back during the season whenever he can. However, at the time the trade was ranked as one of the worst in franchise history, but not as bad as the Young trade has turned out, IMO

going off of memory again or did you find a bonafide source that shows these clutch stats? last nights hit was huge for him and the team as far as clutch goes. Fortunately they had about six clutch hits that inning but let's not forget it is one game in a very long season and unfortunately it hasn't been a very good season for our boys.

I checked the stats at hardballtimes again and to my surprise he's still 12th on the team with risp and 17th on the "clutch" rating. I'm sure though that the stats takers are probably wrong since someone here has a much better memory than those people who keep stats for a living. Or perhaps it's hard to come back from too many poor at bats in clutch situations throughout the season?

You cannot make this stuff up, the stat keepers must have to be against Cuddles too. Why else would he be 12th on the team with RISP?

It's pretty simple if you have watched the games they last 3 months who's getting the clutch hits. I did forget about Kubel who has few clutch hits this year also he's pretty close to Cuddy in that department.

Again I could care less what what Cuddy does in the 2nd inning with 2 out and the speedster "kubel" on first.

Oh and by the way more CROW and EGG on the face of Fish58/Greebs/Sled with a 3 for 4, 3 rbi's and another BOMB from Cuddy this afternoon. gringringrin

Good thing he's not clutch in this pennant race that gets tighter by the minute!

Keep Chirping Haters! Keep on chirping!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!

Go Twins and go Cuddy keep on carrying us and maybe some of the other stiffs can clutch up like you are! grin

Heck NO!

I've been waiting all year for one of his patented slumps he's been known for, he's been really consistant this season. Just when it looks like he 's going south he comes back with a good game or big hit!

I tell you what if he has a year similar to this season next year. He's going to be making a lot more than 7.6 Million!

New thread .... Is Cuddy worth 10.5 Million? grin

So far it's been a disaster oh wait that's Kyle Busch and his Nascar season.... grin

Star Tribune!

Since moving from right field to first to fill in for Justin Morneau, out for the season with a stress fracture in his lower back, Cuddyer is hitting .500 (8 for 16) with two home runs and eight runs batted in.And has played near flawless defense!

I dont see how its a disaster when compared to seasons like Harvick's or Dale Jr's, he leads nascar in wins, but has had some bad luck.

Cuddy is carrying us on his back with his career year he's stuffing the haters way "without mauer he is the team MVP" and is the main reason we have a glimor of hope.

Anywoo haters aside this series will be determined by who-ever bats behind Cuddy this weekend. Leyland is one if not the best manager's in baseball and he's not going to let THE HOTTEST, CLUTCHEST hitter in baseball at the present time beat him.

And those of you with a open mind don't forget to consider Cuddy has had NOBODY, NADDA batting behind him all year which makes his career year even more incredible.

Sled nice try on the Nascar angle. Yes JR has been a huge disapointment to the JR fan base but no suprise really if you follow Da Cuop Cars!

Buschs collapse, being realistic, after his record setting performance and results the last 20 months goes down as an epic a failure as there is in sports today. With his Yota finacing and the car he drives which is the equal or better than Hendricks set-up/Power makes missing the chase the ESPY of all collapses. Take it like man Sled... grin

Go Royals~

Cuddy carrying us on his back?

why wouldnt it be Kubel (better numbers)

Morneau (better numbers)

Mauer (better numbers)

why would you discount these players? to feed your cuddyer man-crush?

No way are Joe Gibbs cars even in the same league as Hendrick's cars. Hendrick MS has twice the cash.

Busch never really collapsed. It just goes to show that if you dont have the car to run in some races, you cant do it on skill alone. Busch has taken some really bad cars to respectable finishes, that being said.

Simply unbelievable. You Cuddy bashers would complain if you were hung with a new rope. Why don't you stat fans out there look at the stats for all players in that 7-8 million a year slot. I AM SURE GLAD HE IS ON OUR TEAM.

      Might not have to wear ear plugs when I mow!      That’s a spendy one.  It wasn’t hard to find one of those for $6k.  Comparatively and Ariens of the same size is $4,200.  A home owner grade JD for $3,900.  You could get into a commercial grade Z700 for maybe $8k.   I think the work I did today with mine would’ve killed that one there.

      On the south end...   This year's MN Fishing Opener weekend was not only great weather wise, the walleyes and saugers were caught in good numbers.  A main fish gut hauler working with a number of resorts commented it was one of the most productive opening weekends he has seen based on the amount of fish guts collected after the weekend. The goto presentation was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   Four Mile Bay held good walleyes in 12 - 18'.  Not a surprise as the walleye bite on the river during the spring season was good and as of late, sturgeon anglers have been reporting catching walleyes on sturgeon rigs.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 12 - 15'.  Across the south shore, 18 - 22' was holding good numbers as well.  As you can see, there are lots of fish around.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well.   As a reminder, the limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers hit the lake.  10 - 15' of water was the norm.     Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season continues through May 15th and then closes until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes were caught in 18 - 25 feet of water, a little deeper than anticipated.  Points were good as were areas with structure.  The morning and evening bite was best.       As water continues to warm, go to spots for walleyes will be neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays.     The goto presentation was a jig and minnow.

      I found this dock wheel floating in Black Bay. If it's yours or you know whom it belongs to, go and grab it.
